The web page brags about ruggedness. Is it moisture resistant? Getting wet is one of the big problems with cell phones. I noticed a [cheap] Kodak video camera at Target that is immersible to 3 meters. One of very few. (One of mine was shortened considerably, though after the warranty had run out. Not wet enough to disqualify, just enough to stop working)
